Making this a little more challenging is the health of Chris Paul. He is back on the floor but not totally back to his old self. He is listed as probable for the Friday game which could just be a maintenance thing.

The guy who never gets a night off is James Harden. He keeps putting up 30+ point games and his scoring is all the way up to 36ppg. At times he looks like he is forcing it but that is the way they operate.

Kenneth Faried has suddenly become super reliable filling in for Clint Capla. They would love to have them both but the are not missing anything.

Beyond Harden and now Faried the production gets a little unsteadier. Eric Gordon is playing well most of the time but his shooting is way down this season and after that they are just looking to find a hot hand from game to game.

Utah Jazz

Utah is also going to be playing on a back to back but there is a big difference between hosting Atlanta and visiting Denver. They did lose, badly, in their game before that one though to Portland, a team that seems to have their number.

The last time the Jazz took on the Rockets they were successful in slowing down the game but they lost by five on the road. It was more than a month ago and they had no answer for Harden.
